You have to watch the tide, see where the fish could hold, toss the lures and retrieve so that it presents it correctly to the fish.....OR theres an easier way, look for people catching the fish and squeeze in that spot (if you find the space)

only saw fish first light at the high tide, after that the day was DEAD. Landed 2 lost 3. Should've just gone home at 9  ::)

I must say the water clarity was piss poor and it only seemed to get worse throughout the day

Went twice today at my spot - around 9am then around 3pm.

Landed two this morning.
First was a big buck that I let go so Rod's Dad could catch it way upstream.
Then kept a nice doe with lice on it.

This afternoon was strange - was looking good right up to high slack.
Tons of fish were surfacing further out and the should have come into shore for the slack but they didn't.
Landed and kept a nice buck a bit earlier.

Out for evening high tide
« Reply #354 on: September 01, 2023, 09:18:14 PM »

Fished for about an hour just before sunset.  Sunset beautiful.  Fishing could have been better.  Only saw a couple splashes that were way too far.  None near shore.  Will be back at it tomorrow morning.

Good luck all.

Sounds good!
Thanks for the info. If i have time, i hope i can head down to steveston for pinks right before school starts for me  :-\
I wonder why the North and Middle Arms are not as productive?

Have you tried yet to fish for them off the dog park? Curious as this spot is close to me and I have had tried once before, but had no luck.

FYi... Over the past 25 years, I have caught way more pink salmon in North Arm than South Arm. South Arm tends to get those huge surges of fish flooding in during the incoming tides, but they are usually short lived. North Arm's fish tend to stream in steadily, not only throughout each tide, but also throughout the season too. I have caught fresh, chrome pink salmon in North Arm as late as early October.

Sep 1 Deas Island 2:30pm - 5:30pm on incoming tide. A few salmon showing very occasionally, not likely pinks. Several sturgeon showing. No hookups.

I've started to notice this on the south arm, it seems around high tide for about an hour a bunch of fish come through and then its dead for hours and only a couple stragglers are caught.
